This book focuses on threats, especially contaminants, to drinking
water and the supply system, especially in municipalities but also
in industrial and even residential settings. The safety, security,
and suitability landscape can be described as dynamic and complex
stemming from necessity and hence culpability due to the emerging
threats and risks, vis-a-vis globalization resulting in new forms
of contaminants being used due to new technologies. The book
provides knowledge and guidance for engineers, scientists,
designers, researchers, and students who are involved in water,
sustainability, and study of security issues. This book starts out
with basics of water usage, current statistics, and an overview
ofwater resources. The book then introduces different scenarios of
safety and security and areas that researchers need to focus.
Following that, the book presents different types of contaminants -
inadvertent, intentional, or incidental. The next section presents
different methodologies of contamination sensing/detection and
remediation strategies as per guidance and standards set globally.
The book then concludes with selected chapters on water management,
including critical infrastructure that is critical to maintaining
safe water supplies to cities and municipalities. Each chapter
includes descriptive information for professionals in their
respective fields. The breadth of chapters offers insights into how
science (physical, natural, and social) and technology can support
new developments to manage the complexity resident within the
evolving threat and risk landscape.

New technologies and assessment methods create improved
opportunities to monitor and predict the onset of natural disasters
in the era of global warming. Researchers continue to evaluate the
changes in weather patterns in order to better understand natural
phenomena. Extreme Weather and Impacts of Climate Change on Water
Resources in the Dobrogea Region presents a descriptive
environmental resource focused on a Romanian region affected by the
changing climate. In discussing methods of assessment, monitoring,
and prediction, the research included in this publication is an
essential resource for policymakers, academicians, researchers,
advanced-level students, technology developers, and government
officials who wish to expand their research exposure to pertinent
topics related to flooding and droughts due to climate change.
The importance of finding a well fitted model for
hydro-meteorological time series cannot be denied, the main gain of
a successful approach being the possibility to explain the past and
to provide informed insight for the future. Therefore, we tried to
present here some techniques that can be used to build a
mathematical model for time series (particularly for
hydro-meteorological ones), starting from statistical tests of data
analysis, passing to the empirical models, nonparametric
techniques, ARIMA models and heuristic methods. Since our intention
was to write a book easy to read, the theory is shortly presented
and is followed by applications on real data that are the results
our three years research work. We hope that this material will be
useful for postgraduate students, as well as for the researchers.
